In 2 years, 10 percent of Switzerland's glaciers were said to have melted

**********************

About 10 percent of Switzerland's glaciers have melted in 2 years, the country's glacier monitoring institute has announced.

The institute has announced that it has confirmed that 10 percent of the country's glaciers have melted in the past 2 years alone, in a study of 176 Swiss glaciers that are part of the Alps.

The Institute, which stated that the country's glaciers will melt by 6% and 4% in 2022 and 2023, respectively, indicated that the results of the study were extremely shocking.

He also pointed out that the glaciers that melted in Switzerland in 2 years are equal to the glaciers that melted in the country from 1960-1990 (in 30 years).

There are more than 1,400 snow-covered areas in Switzerland that are part of the Alps, and due to global warming, the areas are exposed to snow, the BBC reported.
